I feel like he should have called them 'Cybertrux', just for consistency.

I mean, he has no actual policy. Bluster and fuckery is all he's there for.

I think I'm out of the loop here, it seems like the controversy around substack just popped up. The only left-leaning local paper of any worth is actually a substack account, so the anti-substack train isn't leaving me a lot of wiggle room.

thing is, electrons exhibit exchange so even though the electric fields repel, there is a finite probability that electrons change sides when you touch an object. That’s actually a bit more profound than touching.

I think it'd be better to just assume billionaires buying things will always turn out badly and thus hope they buy things we want them to destroy. Like, HBO in this instance - he could buy HBO and then sell of the parts. Fuck it.

“You would be forgiven if you thought the most important element in an organic transformation was
carbon. Matthew Hartings argues that, for just over half a century in many of chemistry’s most renowned
organic reactions, it has actually been palladium.”

Four cities would never, ever dominate the election, first off. Total the populations of the top twenty cities and it’s less than 10% of the total population. Second, again, land doesn’t matter - people do. The number of counties is irrelevant.

I mean, there’s a reason we invented flasks whose only use is measuring 100 mL, making it as idiot proof as possible. “This line. Measure to this line. It is the *only* line on this fucking thing.”

it’s amazing what they charge for those, especially when most of the time a $2 wooden box for the trick.

So they are concerned about the proliferation of perverse incentives (impact factors) and instead would like to use a completely different set of perverse incentives.

They all want *honest* recommendations, but they don't want to hear, "the success of this student depends on how supportive your program is and how many shitty advisors you tolerate"
comment in response to

It feels like anything other than "this is our best student ever, no notes" is the wrong answer. But then, you're also aware that you can't do that all the time, because then they'll just disregard your recc.

The issue with this level of empathy (empathy is good, not knocking it) is that it's already WAY MORE empathy than the CEO had for anyone 'covered' under his organization. As a father I feel terrible for his children, but I can also understand why people aren't receptive to considering his family

It always feels like there's only one answer that will get their attention, doesn't it.
